[QUOTE="XenForo, post: 1435056, member: 1"] [HEADING=1][B][SIZE=6]Attachment interface[/SIZE][/B][/HEADING] Similarly to the way in which the old preview interface forced a lot of vertical scrolling, the previous implementation of the file attachment system listed attached files in a stack of horizontal strips below the editor (and the preview display). On a post with a lot of attachments, it was possible to stack so many attachments that the text editor itself would scroll off the top of the screen, so clicking the insert control on an attachment would be an exercise in clicking blind, as it would be necessary to scroll up after inserting an attached image in order to check it had been placed correctly. 2.2 changes all that. [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" width="792px" alt="6 attach list.png"]227938[/ATTACH][/CENTER] We have switched to a stylish new square appearance for attachments that allows a better look at image thumbnails and makes better use of the available space. Only the most important information about an attachment is shown by default, but a hover action reveals additional data. [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" width="522px" alt="6 attach hover.png"]227940[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full" width="177px" alt="6 attach insert.png"]227937[/ATTACH][/CENTER] These square attachment units stack horizontally within their own scrollable container, so it is no longer possible to have the editor itself scrolled off-screen when working with attachments. There is also a new multi-selection interface for attachments, which allows insertion or deletion of multiple items in just a few clicks. [CENTER][ATTACH type="full" width="793px" alt="6 attach multiselect.png"]227939[/ATTACH][/CENTER] Finally, non-image attachments now have a selection of file type icons that are automatically applied based on the type of file being attached, so give better visual feedback as to what kind of file you're looking at, without having to scrutinise the file name.
